While the H4 organs in the YC61 offer some nice improvements, if you're not into drawbars, the Electro 5D might still be your best bet. Combining the Nord for organ sounds with your synth setup sounds like a solid plan.

Are saying I should have stereo on stage ? In reguards to the sound Im hearing between the YC61 & NE5D Im using headphones.. The leslie and the vibrato chorus on the YC seams brighter and more in stereo
A Leslie isn't stereo in real life so what are you worrying about?

I completely disagree. You are right if you only look at the amp‘s technic itself, but a Leslie speaker is much more. If you have ever been in front of a stage near the organist you‘d have realized that there is much more sound in the air, in the ambience, which you can only „feel its nuances“ with TWO ears. So I‘m glad that my NE5‘s effect is in stereo.
